Searching a cells contents?
I've got a spreadsheet set up with a code in column A.
The code can have 2 forms, xxAxxxx, or xxBxxxx, where x is a number (eg 12A7586, 34B2875). In column C, I want a value of 1 or 2, depending on the code type in column A. Is it possibe to do this automatically, or do I have to go through them manually? |

One way:
C1: =IF(MID(A1,3,1)="A",1,IF(MID(A1,3,1)="B",2,"Error" )) Or, if the code in A *has* to be either A or B in the third character: C1: = 2 - (MID(A1,3,1)="A") In article , SteW wrote: I've got a spreadsheet set up with a code in column A.
